Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
I'm done! All wrapped up too and that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have gifts for the three friends (outside of family) that I buy for. I need to wrap them, and I need to find a birthday present for one of them (her bday is the 21st). I haven't started family shopping yet, but I won't have a whole lot to buy. I need to get on it, but I will probably wait until early December.
ReplyDeleteThis is the earliest I've had most of mine done. I bought some stuff in the summer, so that's been ready to go. I have a friend who's birthday is two days before Christmas so I have a little extra to buy for her. I'd say I'm about 85% done (I have a few more things to get for the hubs, which I'm ordering this week) and just have to wrap. My goal is to be done before vacation so I can look at the pretty packages and sing with glee that all my wrapping paper is put away. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe just got our names from my husband's side of the family (we draw names). I know I want to get my mother in law a tea set, but holy $$
ReplyDeleteI host afternoon teas and I get all of my stuff from this place: https://www.englishteastore.com/teasets.html I hope they have a set you might like for her at a reasonable price!
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHaven't even started and have no clue what I am buying this year. So not ready for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBoth my partner and I have started our shopping. He mostly just buys for his son, it is our year to be Santa, and the name he draws from his extended family. I've started my shopping for his son and my mother. I just set my holiday present budget, received my nieces' wish lists, and I'm still waiting on my mum's wish list. Now I'll wait and start looking for sales and for Giving Tuesday (I make a donation in my father & step-mother's name as their present). I probably won't be 100% finished until the week before Christmas. There are always last minute stocking stuffers to pick up.
ReplyDeleteOur family started drawing names and that hasn't been done yet so I haven't bought anything aside from the yarn I'm using to make gifts for my niece and nephew. I'm behind on making doughs too but hoping to work on that this weekend.
